Grow Your Own Red Mulberry Tree

The red mulberry plant is a fantastic addition to any garden, offering delicious fruit and beautiful foliage. This live rooted plant is self-pollinating and thrives in USDA zones 4-9, making it a versatile choice for many gardeners. Imagine harvesting your own sweet, juicy mulberries for pies, jams, or simply enjoying them fresh off the tree.

This starter plant, approximately 12-18 inches tall when shipped, will eventually grow into a tree reaching 35+ feet. While it’s recommended to allow the tree to grow for about three years before fruiting, the wait is well worth it. The medium-sized berries are a delightful blend of black, red, and purple hues, offering a sweet and flavorful experience. Plus, you can enjoy the peace of mind knowing that no pesticides are used in growing these plants.

Mulberry trees are incredibly versatile. Beyond their delicious fruit, which can be used in various culinary applications like eating fresh, cooking, drinks, juices, freezing, and canning, the tree itself offers other benefits. Historically, the wood has been used for smoking meats, and the inner fibers were even used to weave fabric. The red mulberry plant is a gift that keeps on giving.
